We’ve all hit that diet plateau where we just can’t shake that last five pounds. There’s one simple trick to look like you’ve lost five pounds while you’re actually working at it.

Take pounds off instantly by simply standing up straight. How to correct your posture?  Think about lining up ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips and a straight line from hips to the ankle. The minute your shoulders are back and down, your tummy will automatically engage.  Voila! Not only do you now look about 5 pounds slimmer, but your core is activated and you’re workin’ it.

Practicing and maintaining good posture comes with a host of benefits from feeling more confident and less fatigued to maintaining healthy shoulders, reducing neck pain and overall mobility.
